You'll need deep pockets to buy one, but these are our picks of the best new camper trailer releases of 2024...
We were pretty impressed by Patriot Campers' first hybrid camper, the ST5, released in 2024, only to be blown away by the SEMA-special, ST5 Supertourer Finke Edition that arrived not long after.
Priced at $160K-plus and described by the Gold Coast manufactuer as the "world's most advanced camper trailer", the ST5 Supertourer Finke Edition boasts a long list of next-level features including two-touch automated set-up, Trinamic independent adjustable airbag suspension with desert racer-style remote reservoir shocks, carbon fibre decals and benchtops, and a patented double-floor ensuite conversion...
